Background
Since ethereum/consensus-specs#3312 has been merged in for a while, this issue will track the implementation
design and steps of this spec change in Prysm.
Description
Currently each Prysm node will subscribe to a number of attestation subnets proportional to the number of validators it hosts. This puts a strain on nodes running many validators as you would need to process all the attestations flowing through the network. With this change every node in the network will now subscribe to 2 subnets, allowing the load to be distributed across the network. In order to correctly implement this in Prysm we will need to handle a few things:
take more time/effort to find peers with our desired subnets.
